WASHINGTON — WSDOT says both directions of I-90 near the Snoqualmie Pass have reopened, and parts of Blewett Pass are closed due to crashes in the area.

WSDOT says both directions of I-90 near the Snoqualmie Pass were closed because of multiple spinouts and blocking collisions. Eastbound I-90 was closed at milepost 34 near North Bend and westbound at MP 106 near Ellensburg. WSDOT says they have since reopened.

We now have westbound back open at milepost 106 near Ellensburg. Eastbound is open. Traction tires advised. Please help our crews out by slowing down and following the traction requirements.
